Come to Texas or Oklahoma. Those are two of the trashiest states I've ever seen and Republicans run both of them...

Yeah, democrats are always trashing something and blaming it on republicans. They try their socialist experiments on an entire state like California and when they've ruined that one, they move to another and try it again. It's the universal definition of insanity, do the same thing over and over, hoping for different results. Dumb bastards never learn.

So, whaddaya say, Pete, are typhus and tuberculosis breaking out in Texas and Oklahoma? Typhus is becoming an epidemic in LA's homeless populations. Rodents are carriers of worse diseases, ya know, like Bubonic plague.

True story:

I got out of the Navy in '84 and went to my old digs in Perris, CA. Perris was growing at the time but there was still a lot of rural areas, hills, mountains, canyons and dirt roads.

People dumped trash and junk everywhere out of sight...and in those days no one was picking any of it up.

One day I was cresting a hill on a dirt road next to Lake Perris amazed at the amount of rubbish, much of it completely and lucratively recyclable when there it was...the "I've seen everything" moment in illegal dumping, a dead, burnt mobile home...they even dumped houses!

Cars, trucks, trailers, appliances, demolished barns with usable wood, concrete blocks and bricks, electrical boxes, copper wire, steel cable, cast iron, copper and brass plumbing, decades of aluminum cans, pop bottles, colored glass...

I saw dollar signs and for a few years, when I could, I'd take a cruise and pick up a load of the easiest and best junk and take it to Riverside Scrap. Got to know the folks who ran the place pretty well and it paid off a little later when scads of folks not qualified to buy a house were defaulting on their loans a years or so later leaving new neighborhoods half-deserted ghost towns with houses full of whatever the inhabitants couldn't take.

Got a job with a subcontractor who cleaned houses for HUD. $12.50 an hour, 25c a mile, dump fees and I could keep whatever I found!

In one place I found 60 phone booths...the big glass-enclosed aluminum ones, not those things that hang on a wall. 6063 aluminum to be precise.

One place was full of furniture and appliances, the garage was full of building supplies and tools [I]and the attic was full of new art supplies, frames, brushes, canvasses, posterboards, chalk, pencils, charcoals, paints and water colors. Crazy!

Result: I was a preferred customer at the scrapyards and had hellacious yard sales.

The only trash in the hills now is broken concrete and rotten wood. Recycling kinda took off after that.

Half of Texas is an open sewer, the second most polluted state in the nation.

Actually there is water pollution and air pollution, but not where I live.
The air pollution is in cities and the water pollution in some lakes.

The trashiest places in Louisiana are where blacks are located in high numbers.But they aren't anything like La.They need to get that place cleaned up! Those so called community leaders are nothing but selfish
big mouths who don't know how to lead.

I like Oklahoma. I used to live in Altus by the Air Force Base. I listened to those jet engines run all night.
For some reason my son got locked in there one night.
His friend was a pilot and he had gone to see him.
